DARF's current focus is to end female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female circumcision or cutting. DARF is the only organisation in Scotland systematically focusing on ending FGM through multiple rights-based approaches especially creating awareness and trainings on FGM and related matters.

DARF aims to reduce the prevalence of FGM in Scotland and around the world, and ensure the provision of comprehensive services for affected girls and women.
